I could write about this all day but I want to refer you folks to this essay about Metal Gear Solid by Austin Howe, focusing on how it uses form and metatext. And I want to stress that Driving off the Map is essential reading for anyone interested in games analysis.

We need to call this what it is: intentionally sabatoging the health insurance of potentially millions of Americans because the GOP is still committed to hating Obama at any cost. He is not “letting” anything fail. The GOP already orchestrated the lack of choice/high premiums debacle by passing an amendment to the ACA…

The last clip.

We are adults, can’t we wait until our kids go to bed at a normal time to STREAM a TV show? It’s not going to kill you. My wife and I always wait for movies to come out on home video (streaming/disc/etc) to watch them because we refuse to try to take our toddler to a movie theater.

This reminds me of a part of Tom Segura’s stand up routine about people bringing babies to the movie theater:

I am a man. When I got cancer my dad made it a point to tell me “hey you shouldn’t tell anyone you have cancer”. It wasn’t the right thing to tell me and it was quite some damaging advice. This topic comes up often in group too.

“STICK TO SPORTS!1!!1!!!!!”

He’s being intentionally obtuse, don’t engage him.

We’re all hoping Draymond destroys his dick and balls, right?

The movie already has a diverse cast. How can it possibly do better? By having a 33 year old play someone half his age?

I feel like you could have boiled this whole article down to:

Not surprising, at all. I used to deal with NFL players, and only the starting QB and RB actually tipped well. Everyone else was a fucking cheap asshole.

My god, the “famous person says something fundamentally supportive in an imperfect* way so let’s shit on him” genre has to die.

Can we expect some new announcements? Like a proper Code Geass 3rd season trailer or something, instead of a montage of deleted R2 stuff?

The hate you’re getting for this report on the Mass Effect forums is hilarious. Its just like your No Man Sky reporting from a couple years ago.

I will never understand this mindset. “Man, if only gamers had tolerated a product that didn’t meet their expectations we cold have gotten DLC.” While every criticism sure as hell isn’t valued, stop pretending that consumer desiring decent products is somehow indecent. “it was still 100% playable” Wow. Hot-damn. What…

none of the versions online are more than 80% complete according to ex argonaut folks, so you didn’t really play the same game

If voters don’t see through the empty stat hog that Westbrook is and see that Kawhi Leonard, like when Lebron won, does more basketball game winning things than fill a box score with empty calories, they might never see it. Westbrook should have, at best, been 6th in voting behind any combination of Lebron, Harden,…

All of my excitement is completely squashed, knowing it will be a bitch to get my hands on one. Assholes. You know they’re not gonna make nearly enough to meet demand, and are gonna get snapped up by scalpers.

Awesome news for the five scalpers who will buy them all and sell them to the rest of us for $500.
